Apparently, the guy who ignored women’s pleas to take down nude images from IsAnybodyDown.com wants to have his own photos and information expunged.

The 23 URLs he wants Google to remove from search engine links include one that links to Naked Security’s story about how the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in January banned Brittain from the revenge porn business.

Another of the links is to the FTC’s press release regarding the action taken against Brittain.

It’s getting hard to keep track of all the revenge-porn site operators who’ve been taken out of business lately.

To refresh your memory: Brittain was the one who conned women out of nude images, posted the images (along with Facebook profiles and addresses), and then charged his victims to get the images taken down.

Now, he wants Google to remove links to stories about his little enterprise. To be precise, in the words of the request dated 9 February, he wants takedown of:

Unauthorized use of photos of me and other related information. Unauthorized use of statements and identity related information. Unauthorized copying of excerpts from isanybodydown.com. Using photos which are not 'fair use'.

Out of all the revenge-porn site operators who’ve been taken out of business, Brittain has gotten off the lightest, with just a slap on the wrist from the FTC.

The Commission wagged its finger at Brittain in January, forbidding him from posting nude photos anywhere online again without explicit permission to do so and ordering him to permanently delete all the naked pictures he had collected (the FTC complaint says that he had photos of more than 1000 individuals).

He didn’t have to pay a fine, in spite of having made around $12,000 (about £7,772) from charging his victims for image takedown.

Nor was he prosecuted for allegedly tricking women into swapping nude photos with him by posing as a woman on Craigslist.

Contrast that with Hunter Moore, former king of revenge porn and the founder and operator of IsAnyoneUp.com, who earlier this month pleaded guilty to identity theft, unauthorized access to a computer to get at information for financial gain, and abetting unauthorized access to a computer.

The total maximum sentence for all those charges is 7 years in jail, 3 years parole, and a fine of about $500,000. Moore’s looking at a minimum term of 2 years behind bars.

Brittain, at least at this point, is facing neither fines nor criminal charges.

The ruling has granted European citizens the right to request the removal of links that include their name and that are deemed “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.”

Google has fought long and hard against the ruling.

In June, the search giant reportedly was planning to flag right to be forgotten censored search results.

I admit I don’t understand the need to take naked selfies or pictures of me and my partner being intimate, “intimate” is the key word here. I understand that this happens however. If you can afford an iPhone, you can afford a cheap digital camera and can keep the pictures on the SD card. If it’s on a smart phone, it can be hacked!

Once these type of people get caught, they do not want to suffer shame and embarisment. If the world continues to post opinions about theses people, someone will find it, some way some how, and some where in some time.
